Every purchase your agents make through Axiom comes with a complete audit trail. This guide shows you how to find, read, and use your transaction history.
What gets logged
For every transaction, Axiom records:
- What was purchased: merchant name, item description, final amount
- When: exact timestamp of the purchase
- How: which virtual card was used (and that it's been closed)
- Why: the agent's full reasoning chain explaining its decision
- Which rules were checked and which ones authorized the purchase
This is more detail than most human expense reports. You'll always know exactly why every dollar was spent.
Viewing your transaction history
- Go to Activity in your Axiom dashboard
- You'll see a chronological list of all transactions
- Click any transaction to expand the full audit trail
You can filter by:
- Date range: see purchases from a specific period
- Category: filter by merchant category
- Agent: if you have multiple agents, see purchases from a specific one
- Amount: find transactions above or below a threshold
Reading an audit entry
Each entry has three main sections.
Transaction details. The merchant, amount, date, and virtual card number used. The card status will show as "closed" since single-use cards are deactivated after the purchase.
Agent reasoning. This is the most valuable part. You'll see the agent's thought process: what it was asked to do, what options it considered, why it chose this specific item or merchant, and how it confirmed the price was within your rules.
Rule verification. Which spending rules were checked before the card was issued, and which ones authorized the purchase. This confirms the guardrails were active.
Exporting receipts
You can export individual receipts or bulk-export your transaction history as a CSV. This is useful for:
- Expense reports. Each receipt includes all the detail your finance team needs.
- Tax records. Organized by category and date.
- Debugging. If an agent made an unexpected purchase, the export helps you trace what happened.
